Re: Automatic PTF on IPL -- MIDRANGE-L

This process seems to have finished up successfully. No indication of problems except that the PTF process threw in an extra IPL because the PTF set included a technology refresh. Initially, I thought it was all done, but nothing was working right. One more IPL set things back to normal.

Thanks for all the suggestions.

Does anyone have experience with installing a CUM PTF set and specifying

no automatic IPL? I do PTFs infrequently and would like to leave my

system up while the PTFs are being installed and the do the IPL myself

when it is done and I find a good time.

The PTF instructions that I received indicate that Y should be used.
